Still has some life on the nose. Life on the palate also. Still some tannic group.

Lively nose. Balanced, smooth mouth feel, spicy. Cherry, warm fruit. Just a touch of tar. Long finish

Ripe, round nose, dark plum. Enticing in the beginning, this has faded in the mid-palate

Pencil shavings, cassis, plum, dark cherry, super polished mouthfeel. Bold, ripe attack but perhaps a little underpowered in the mid-palate through the finish
